@sny_knicks There is a chance, he means brunson’s head fakes, that people bite on. Brunson is shifty & head fakes are part of that. I think he gets guys off balance, changes direction to open space and draws contact when they clumsily try to recover after getting faked out.

"He has a big head. It's definitely tough to guard him with his head *flailing motion* doing all that." Kelly Oubre Jr. on defending Jalen Brunson:

@basbugsy @sny_knicks I hope so.

@sny_knicks These mfs might get swept 🧹 enough respect….get these mfs outta here

@Lazy_Contrarian @sny_knicks @SNYtv Starts from the top. best player a complainer w/no accountability. No self awareness.

@sny_knicks @SNYtv What an all-time whiny bitch team. It wasn’t his big head that torched you. It was his 12-18 from the floor. You took 34 foul shots to our 17 yet lost by 39. Maybe cry less and make baskets more?

@Jkip52 @MrChuckD @RealSkipBayless @Sprewellfan8 I think some sports TV personalities, (who are not actual analysts) like to take shots at the knicks for clicks. Yes NYKs are not above criticism. but this is just hate. This was their capability on display for a 2nd straight game. If they play with this intensity they’ll win

@MrChuckD @RealSkipBayless @Sprewellfan8 Bayless is not an analyst he is a shock jock rage baiting clown

If I were a Knicks fan - and I'm not - I'd be afraid the Knicks were using up all their shot-making and lucky bounces in the first half of Game 1. The Knicks cannot play or shoot better than they did in that first half.

@MrChuckD @RealSkipBayless @Sprewellfan8 Analysts need to be analytical….this guy uses his gut and he hates knicks, So his view is what it is. No real logic. They’re playing great & if they can keep the effort/energy up in this range & stay healthy…we have nothing to worry about. No coasting. Coasting = losing

@RealSkipBayless @Sprewellfan8 Its amazing how analysts have struck out this season

@CNviolations If it floats, it means it’s gone bad. Methane builds up as it rotts inside. So if you do put whole egg in a glass of water, you can tell if your eggs are still fresh(it sinks) & if it floats it’s bad. If it’s midway from good-bad, the egg will sink slower & bounce more.

What happens if you crack an egg underwater

@TheKnicksRecap Embiid gets little man calls. (like a guard.) Towns gets big man treatment.

If Embiid did what KAT just did inside, he'd be at the line. It's crazy to see how much they let go on KATs actions in comparison.

@KnicksMuse @Magnee_ knicks fans, would you want KAT to give embiid a dose of own medicine? Personally i think it’s trash basketball. Brunson exaggerates actual significant body contact. Embiid actually swings his arms at people like a weapon.

Please never compare Brunson’s flopping to Embiid. This is sad to watch.

@dtjaybrown @KnicksMuse Start agreeing? i’ve been saying it since the last nyk-sixers playoff

@KnicksMuse look at this, that fan base is about to start agreeing with Jaylen Browns comments on embiid flopping.. smh

@Krisplashed Yes hack a mitch stops flow, but i feel like they should let it happen a little

Hack-A-Mitch is here with 2:56 to go in Q1

@KnicksMemes because they want to see what towns can do…maybe 2nd qtr

I've said it before: An easy way to prevent Hack-A-Mitch is to START the quarter with Mitch and FINISH with Towns Philly wouldn't put themselves in the bonus early in a quarter Why does Mike Brown not do this?

@Krisplashed it’s fine…remember they’ll be in foul trouble at some point.

@heisola13 @DanladiYusty movie title?

Every 20 strokes of the hacksaw, the prisoner has to stop and scan his environment. If a guard spotted him his escape plan will be blown and it could cost him his life

@nykpit1107 @_the6thman Healthy Paul george, healthy embiid. They both are recovered and playing well.

@_the6thman Yup last three playoff exits we had home court in all of them, this Sixers team is one of the more talented teams we’ve faced in the Brunson era too. They’re rolling right now going to be a tough 7 game series, home court or not we have to show up for 48 minutes of hoops.

My message for the Knicks and the fanbase ahead of Knicks vs Sixers Game 1 👀 #LetsGoKnicks

@_the6thman They need to play like they’re down 3-0 in the series

@Hero_OfThe_Day @madebyjuan how’s dort not have more flagrants?

Lu Dort always targets star players, and then you can’t touch Shai……. 🤯🤯

@Hero_OfThe_Day @Bryckhouse77 In MetaWorldPeace’s (Ron’s) defense, he followed an era where that physical interaction was the norm. Then they transitioned to “Jordan rules” & when artest started it was going league wide, but not fully there yet. Dort flails to make it look incidental, Ron was straight fwd.

@Bryckhouse77 Ron was legitimately a bit psycho, though. Lu Dort is a premeditated goon 😂😂

@SNYKPodHarlem He can end up with 4 shots if they go up by 50 again…i’m okay with that. Kind of unreal to have such a blowout and he only tool 4 shots.

I need Jalen Brunson to stand aside this series this ain’t about him This series fans gonna hear me get at Karl Anthony Towns I need to see greatness from my Center Kat can’t end up with 4 shots I need 18+ shots a game Embiid called our franchise center 🐱 #alwaysknicks

@guntherbtrippin @aevseveryone @SportsWithJay0 Well then since i think brown is more mentally tough than tatum, where he actually ranks in NBA doesn’t matter, I only compared him to tatum. His actual mental toughness is irrelevant. It’s more than tatum.

@JZero29 @aevseveryone @SportsWithJay0 mentally tough players don't go live to complain about refs 24 hours removed from blowing a 3-1 lead. Tatum is the only reason we didn't lose this series 1-4

Be Honest If you were FORCED to trade one during the offseason for Giannis, who are you moving Jaylen Brown or Jayson Tatum?

@cptdankkk How about cutting the fans back in, by lowering ticket prices.

Steph Curry says NBA players are underpaid "I think because the way the CBA is structured right now, we can't participate in equity. And that's a big deal because it’s a partnership with ownership, the league and we're on the short term of that revenue" "The idea that we can't participate in equity while we're playing is a part of why I would say yes, we are underpaid because you want to be able to participate in that rise" "I know we're blessed to be in a position where we're playing basketball for a living, and these are the type of checks that people are earning" "Hopefully sooner than later those rules change a little bit so that players can participate more in the upside of team equity. I think we deserve it"
